Sweet Potato Nice Cream Sundae

Sweet Potato Nice Cream Sundae

     So, pre-veganism and pre-health conscious days, I would get banana splits... Often. I've always been a banana maniac, and when I got my sundaes I would always order extra strawberries. Most of the time I would end up eating the banana and strawberries, and leaving leftover ice cream because it wasn't even the best part. I've always been a fruit lover!

     I've made vegan banana splits before, and trust me, they were the real deal. So delicious! But a friend of mine tagged me in a post on Facebook, and I was inspired to make a banana split inside a sweet potato boat, using flavours that compliment the sweet potato really well!

By the way, I ate this for breakfast... And I'm doing it again...

Yield: 2 meal servings

Ingredients
1 medium/large sweet potato

2 frozen bananas

1 fresh ripe banana

6 tablespoons peanut butter

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

4 strawberries

Dash of cinnamon

Instructions

1. Bake the sweet potato at 400 degrees F for 1 hour or until soft. Cut in half and let cool, top with cinnamon.

2. Mix together 4 tbsp of peanut butter with 2 tbsp maple syrup. Add water in small amounts to get a saucy consistency.

3. Place the 2 frozen bananas in a food processor with 2 tsbp of peanut butter and blend in a food processor or high speed blender. Don't add any liquid, just keep pushing the sides down with a spoon in between blending.

4. Slice all of the fruit, and thaw the blueberries 

*You can use the strawberries as supports for the banana slices!

5. Assemble as you would a banana split

-banana slices on the sides

-scoops of nice cream in the middle

-berries everywhere

-sauce drizzled over top

Sweet potato and ice cream may sound like a weird combination to you, but you MUST try it. It's everything I've ever dreamed of in one little boat of sweetness. <3
